Big thanks to everyone who came out to Xex and enjoyed the set.
While being an interesting space overall Xex is not the best venue volume wise. Halfway through the set I had to shave off 30% of the bass and halve the volume (on the house system) to keep the cops and neighbours at bay which changed the energy on the dancefloor immensely.
It’s part and parcel of performing in Tokyo, a city with one of the highest population densities in the world – 5655 people per km² – and it even happened to me at Womb of all places.
I had prepared for a slightly straighter and mellow (for me) set anyway so it all worked out in the end and this is probably the least technical set I have played from a live point of view. Performance wise I am not thrilled with some of the transitions, keys are wonky at times and it feels very cut and paste, although in real time it was sounding pretty good I must admit.
Line Kernel’s exclusive VJ performance added an extra dimension and colour to the set and I hope to continue collaborating with him into the near future.
